ATM Exam Dumps : Advanced Test Management Exam v 3.0 – ISTQB

Understanding SMART Goals:

SMART goals must be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

The goal "automate 90% of the manual regression tests before the product release date" may not beachievabledepending on the time constraints and resources available.

Evaluation of Options:

Ais correct because the issue lies in whether automating 90% is feasible within the timeline.

Bis incorrect as the goal is specific.

Cis incorrect because automating regression tests is relevant to reducing regressions.

Dis incorrect since the goal is measurable by the percentage of automation achieved.

References and Syllabus Alignment:

Aligned with ISTQB Advanced Test Management guidelines on goal setting and test automation strategies (TM-1.6.2)​​​.

Context Analysis:

Agile emphasizes efficiency and collaboration. If a defect is quickly resolved within the same iteration, documenting it formally may not add value.

Evaluation of Options:

A. Never:

Incorrect. Agile allows flexibility; not all defects require formal reports.

B. If the defect can be fixed in the same iteration in which it was found:

Correct. Aligns with Agile principles of immediacy and adaptability, minimizing overhead (Syllabus section TM-1.2.4).

C. If the defect can be fixed in a later hardening sprint:

Incorrect. Documentation is needed if a defect remains unresolved within the iteration.

D. If the defect must be fixed by another team:

Incorrect. Clear documentation is critical for external team collaboration.

Syllabus Alignment:ISTQB Advanced Test Management highlights Agile principles, including flexibility in defect reporting based on project needs (TM-1.2.4).

Role of Risk Analysis in Test Analysis:

Risk analysis identifies areas with the highest likelihood and impact of failure, enabling the test team to focus on critical functionalities.

It is used to determine test conditions that must be addressed to mitigate risks effectively.

Evaluation of Options:

Ais incorrect as determining test execution order happens during test execution, not analysis.

Bis correct because selecting test conditions is part of test analysis influenced by risk levels.

Crelates to reporting and is unrelated to test analysis.

Dpertains to defect management, not test analysis.

References and Syllabus Alignment:

This aligns with risk-based testing as described in "Risk Analysis and Risk-Based Testing" (TM-1.3.1)​​.
